He has worked with a range of artists, bands, and musical directors across live and collaborative settings, including projects connected to GRAMMY and Dove Award–winning collectives such as Elevation Worship and Elevation Rhythm.

My services:

  • My drumming will bring the energy, precision, and musicality to your performance. Whether you’re an artist, church, or event, I provide professional drumming tailored to your sound. From gigs, to shows, to tours, Im your guy

  • Looking for the right groove for your next song/track? I offer high-quality session drumming, whether remote or in-person, to bring your vision to life.

  • As musicians, we often focus on skill but overlook the mental side of performance. I offer coaching for drummers and creatives, helping with mindset, performance anxiety, and balancing the pressures of music. Let’s work through the challenges so you can play and create with confidence.

  • Want to take your drumming to the next level? I offer personalized lessons that focus on groove, technique, and musicality, helping drummers develop confidence and creativity behind the kit. Whether you’re just starting or refining your skills, let’s build your foundation together.
